Yoga

o

ne form of stress-reducing exercise that also helps people get in better touch with their body is yoga. It may sound a bit strange at first, but if reducing stress is your goal, especially if you have not found much help in other ways, it might be worth your time to try yoga. There are many physical benefits to yoga besides the reduction of stress. The sense of balance we tend to lose as we get older is often restored, and a feeling of confidence and well-being often comes to many other areas of our lives.

The Sanskrit word yog(uh) has two roots, to meditate and to join (as in combining human nature with forces beyond the body). The goal is to find a higher level of understanding of ourselves and of the natural world around us. Yoga is not always easily accepted in the Western world, as it extends beyond the limits of medicine as it is commonly practiced. What is not understood, or doesn't fit our usual pattern of knowledge, is often rejected.
